This is our kitchen. Our little tiny washer and dryer. You can do about 2 pair of jeans and a shirt in one load. It's OK though. I'm really glad to have it. The refridgerator is on the right, the electric stove straight ahead with a really dirty oven and 2 burners that don't work, and the sink on the left where brown water comes straight from the tap! I don't think I have told everyone yet that we can't drink the water here, not even to brush teeth and if you saw it you wouldn't brush your teeth in it either. We have to constantly by water by the plastic bottle and I feel guilty about all the plastic trash in Zambia, but we would be way sick if we used the water. I have a large pot in which I boil water and then cool it and then run it through a filter system. I then store it in the plastic water bottles that I save. I use this water for boiling potatoes, or pasta, etc., but still don't drink it.
